have fairly shown that for
the mere purpose of racing their
cenmeboad sloop is faster than
the English deep-keeled cutter. 1t must be
remembered that the Thistle is only the first
attempt to borrow some of the good quail
ties of American boats, and it is probable
that the designer will prove capable of
further developing his models The mere
fact that for three successive years the
centreboard has emphatically had the best
of the English keel confirms the opinion
that if we mean to win we must send over
a centreboard boat, but at the risk of leav-
ing the cup in America we hope that no
one will resort to this expedient."
A TRANSATLANTIC SPIN.
The Post confesses that the Thistle was
fairly and squarely beaten. 1t suggests
that a race from New York to Liverpool be
arranged between the two yachts.
The Ne,os regrets that the race
was not sailed in English waters. The
American course, it says, is imperfectly
known to English captains. The NelUs
adds: England has to learn lesson from
America in this branch of shipbuilding and
had better set about it at once"
The Chronicle says: "The result of the
race is decisive We must accept our de
feat with good grace"
The Daily Telegraph says: "The Thistle
was beaten handsomely on her merits. The
Volunteer is better and swifter ship all
round. The triumph stamps American
builders as at present our Superiors and
teachers in the art of designing fast craft !"

THE G. A. R.
Election OF a New Commander-in-
Chief for the Ensuing Year

Election Of a New Commander-in-
Chief for the Ensuing Year.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-Judge Rae, of Min
nesota, was to-day elected Commander-in-
Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic
on the first ballot by majority of "a.
Mr.. Vandervoort proposed a resolution to
the effect that ''while we recognize that dis
approval of any measure presented to him
by Congress is a constitutional prerogative
of the Presiden,t to be exercised by him ac-
cording to his discretion, yet we
cannot feel that this involves also
the privilege of going beyond the
bounds of that power to officially insult
broken down and needy men, to whom the
nation owes everything. And that the de-
pendent pension bill passed by the Forty
ninth Congress, and vetoed by the Presi-
dent was the least measure of justice that
could have been asked of the nation, for the
men to whom it owes its salvation
This was overwhelmingly defeated, and
the regular report of the committee was
adopted.
The Committee on Resolutions presented
majority and minority reports on the IS a
month or service pension bill. The majority
of the committee reported against the
measure and the minority of five reported
in its favor

He wrote the bill at the suggestion of Capt.
Reese, the Superintendent of the convict
camp at the Dade county coal mines, and
exhibited letters from the presidents of the
three penitentiary companies in the State,
saying that they had no objections to it.
Upon this showing tie bill was passed

A RIVER STEAMER BURNED.
One Man Known to Have Perished and
Two Others Missing.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept 30.-The steamer
7. B. Sims plying between Memphis and
st. Louis, was burned this morning at 3:45
o'clock at Island Forty, sixteen miles above
this city. She was en- route from st. Louis
and had about 275 bales of cotton and 5000
barrels of -four and meat. So far as known
only one life was lost, young man named
Burch, from Illinois, who was a passenger.
The Sims was formerly the D. R. Powell,
and was purchased by Capt.. T. B. Sims sew
eral months ago from the Anchor Line Com
pany for $4,000. The boat and cargo are
a total loss. The fire caught on the lower
deck aft of the boilers, and spread with
great rapidity. The boat was at once
headed for the Arkansas shore and made
fast until the passengers and crew escaped
She afterwards drifted down the river some
two miles and lodged against an island
The charred remains of one
man was found in the wreck, and he is sup
posed to be Burch, the only one lost, al
though a negro roustabout and a white deck
passenger are also reported missing. The
Sims was insured for $4,000 in st. Louis
and Wheeling companies. Her cargo was
insured in st. Louis, excepting the cotton,
which was covered by open policies of con-
signees i'll local companies here.

SWAMI IN THE SYNDICATE.
The Central Said to be in Good Luck in
Getting Him.

New YORK, Sept 30.-The Georgia Cen
tral syndicate has been in almost continuous
session for the past three days. The only
result yet known is that James Swami, of
Inman, Swami & Co, has been admitted to
the combination. This is regarded as
valuable addition to the list of strong names
which previously constituted the syndicate.
II doubly Identifies the widely known and
enormously rich firm of lnman, Swami g.
Co. with the combination, and practically
insures the complete success of any future
plan that may be adopted. Inmann, Swami
& Co.'S strength in all matters
with which they are connected is
greatly augmented by the perfect
harmony in which the leading members of
the co-partnership work. Mr. Swami is a
gentleman of large private fortune, though
exceedingly modest and quiet in the man
agement of his affairs In all matters of
magnitude he acts in hearty cooperation
with his partner John II. Iuman. The two
make team of rare ability, influence and
financial resources. James Swami would
to-day be a man of far greater prouAAlence
in the metropolis if he did not so
persstently pull back from anything like
personal parade. In circles, however, where
conservatism, sagacity and financial respon-
sibility are estimated most highly he has a
place of enviable distinction and strong in
fuence. His admission to the Central syn
dictate does not involve the withdrawal of
any one Of the previous members.

$16,5OO,OOO Wiped Out During Sep
tember-Bond Purchases.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The estimated
reduction in the public debt for the month
of September is S16,500,000,
An unusually large demand has been
made for internal revenue stamps for to-
bacco, principally for cigarette stamps and
the bureau of engraving and printing is
busily engaged in printing an extra supply
of those stamps 1t is said at the Treasury
department, that dealers in tobacco believe
that the short crop for this year will result
in an increase of prices for that commodity
and are preparing themselves accordingly.
The amount OF the bonds offered to the
Treasury Department to-day was $57, 900,
which is less than on any day since the daily
purchases began. This fact is regarded at
the department as indicating that the gov
ernment has practically secured all the
floating bonds that can be obtained at the
present rates fixed by the departments cir
cular. and that the stringency of the money
market has been sufficiently relieved for the

A REVIEW OF TRADE.
Omens Which Indicate That Better

Times are Near at Hand.
New YORK, Sept. 30.-R. G. Dun & Co. IS
review of trade for the week says:
The Treasury purchases of bonds have
greatly changed the feeling in the money
market, but without giving much relief as
yet to legitimate business. There are two
money markets just now; money on
call for speculation, on good col
laterals, is in ample supply, but
money on time for commerce or industry on
commercial paper is almost as scarce as it
was fortnight ago. AS long as bankers
feel uncertain regarding the financial future
they prefer to keep their resources within
reach, and though commercial paper has
been somewhat more sought, and advances
to customers on legitimate transactions are
somewhat more free, the change is not yet
great
TRADE GOOD.
Meanwhile trade is at all points active and
large in volume, with a hopeful feeling
prevalent, and the lack of available funds is
by many attributed rather to the swelling
volume of business than to absorption of
capital in enterprises or speculation. There
is at present no new symptoms of danger
GUS activity in speculation or real estate
Operations at the West have much abated,
Cotton is moving freely, and wheat less
actively, farmers being indisposed to ac-
cept current prices.
While exchanges continue to show pay
ments through banks exceeding those of
last year by 15 per cent. outside OF New
York, there is unquestionable shrinkage in
the volume of some branches Of business.
WOOL SALES FALL OFF.
The wool sales at Boston are in quantity
less than half those of last year, and since
Jan show decrease of 2615 per cent.
Woolen goods are in moderate demand, and
cottons, though far from active, are steady
at current prices. after an unusually large
distribution.
One feature of i'll omen is that the aver
age liabilities of the firms falling for the
past quarter amounted to S37 ,679 against
anly Sl4, 600 for the same quarter last year
indicating an unwholesome expansion of
credits in some directions. The failures for
the third quarter of 1887 number 1898 in
the United States and 800 in Canada, against
1852 in the United States for the third
quarter of 1856 and 259 in Canada. The in
crease in number is trifiing, but the reported
liabilities of the firms failing in the United
States for the quarter We're S73, ,022, BOO,
against S31 ,221 800 for the same quarter last
year, and in Canada s., 1896, ,529, against
81 ,921 ,9l3 last year. While the volume of
liabilities was much swelled by few heavy
speculative disasters, the fact that a large
increase appears in every section of the
country indicates marked expansion of COM
mercial obligations.

Over a Hundred City Employees of

CHICAGO, Sept. S0.-This was execution

Commissioner Swift denied that poll
tics had anything to do with it.
He claimed that it was purely measure of
economy, as it had been discovered that for
a time during the winter a certain number
could be spared. The places would be filed
again whenever necessary. 1t was impossi-
BILE to tell whether the discharged men were
all Democrats, or whether their places
would be filed by Republicans.
